The essential guide to unleashing the body’s ability to dramatically improve mood, memory and thinking speed. Become happy, peaceful, calm, centered, yet sharp, focused, alert and wide-awake. This is supportive of those who suffer from depression, ADD, Alzheimer’s, brain fog, anxiety and so much more.

The most important medical discovery of our lifetime is also the biggest secret.

This secret reveals the REAL reasons we are sick and why we suffer from an epidemic of brain problems…

…everything from depression to dementia, from anxiety to autism, from memory problems to mood swings and from brain fog to trouble concentrating.

In fact, we’re in the middle of the greatest medical revolution of the last 100 years – it’s the medical equivalent to Columbus saying the world was round, not flat.

And this revolution shows us that there IS hope…

…hope for our children with ADD, autism and Asperger’s, who have problems concentrating, staying focused and controlling their behaviors…

…hope for our aging parents, who are suffering from dementia, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, and whose lives are quietly slipping away…

…hope for those of us who suffer from depression, anxiety and brain fog and have problems remembering things and dealing with stress and mood swings.

What if you were told that the way you think about disease, mental illness and your brain aging actually has NOTHING to do with how your body actually works?

The secret you’re about to learn is this…your mood and memory problems, your trouble focusing, your ADD and depression are NOT all in your head.

They’re in your BODY.

By Fixing Your Body, You WillAutomatically Fix Your Broken Brain

You are about to learn how 7 remarkable breakthroughs can give you back your brain and allow you to fully enjoy life and regain your energy, memory, focus and joy.

You can’t treat mental illness effectively ONLY with drugs or psychotherapy, but you can fix your broken brain by balancing the 7 core biological systems at the root of all illness and disease.

In a minute, I’ll share with you exactly what these 7 core systems are and show you the path to a mind that’s calm, focused, alert and happy – a path to an UltraMind® .

This is the basis of my 20+ years practicing medicine and my new book, The UltraMind® Solution.

How Can 7 Systems Be atthe Root of All Disease?

It’s because the way we think about disease is all wrong.

We say that if you feel sad and hopeless, you HAVE depression. But depression doesn’t CAUSE those symptoms. It’s simply the label we put on people who HAVE those symptoms.

People suffer from conditions such as depression, autism and dementia, but the names we give diseases tell us absolutely NOTHING about their real reasons or causes.

DISEASES DON’T EXIST! Well, at least not in the way we think they do. They are instead imbalances in the 7 core biological systems of the body.

Unless You Know the Cause,You Can’t Fix Your Problem

It’s the same thing with our broken brains.

So, how do we fix our broken brain? It’s very simple. We have to balance the 7 biological systems at the root of all disease. (More on these in a second.)

The key is this: Only if you fix your body (and it can be fixed) will you fix your brain.

How do I know this?

Not only did I fix my own broken brain during my process of successfully recovering from chronic fatigue syndrome (one of the most mysterious and hardest illnesses to treat), but over the last 20 years, I’ve worked as the co-medical director at Canyon Ranch, and now as the medical director and founder of The UltraWellness® Center, helping literally thousands of people heal from anxiety, depression, autism, dementia and many other symptoms of broken brains.

Let me share a story that showed me in a powerful way how the body is REALLY connected to the brain.

How an Exasperated Professional WomanDiscovered the Answer That Wiped OutHer 12-Year-Old Son’s ADHD

Clayton, labeled with a multitude of psychological and physical diagnoses by a number of highly specialized physicians, seemed to be a walking embodiment of “bad luck; poor kid.”

In the realm of psychiatry, Clayton was “diagnosed” with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a behavioral disorder. He could not focus in school, “zoned out” and was disruptive.

As with many children labeled with ADHD or on the autism spectrum, Clayton’s writing was nearly illegible. On the other hand, he excelled in math.

He slept poorly and had trouble breathing when he did sleep. He also suffered from anxiety, fearfulness and carbohydrate cravings. All his symptoms were being treated with 7 different medications prescribed by 5 different doctors.

These included Ritalin for ADHD, allergy medicine, inhalers for his asthma and hives, acid-blocking medication for his stomach problems, and painkillers for his headaches.

This is quite a drug cocktail for a 12-year-old. Yet he didn’t experience much relief from his physical, mental or behavioral symptoms. But this is how we approach a problem in medicine – divide it up into parts, farm them out and pile on the pills.

What a Life forClayton and His Family!

When Clayton’s mother found me, she was tired and frustrated. As we began to dig below the surface, we found and treated the causes of his symptoms – which were the 7 keys to an UltraMind® .

Here is how we fixed Clayton…

A Little Boy’s Remarkable Recovery from ADHD

Click the play button to listen to the whole story of how Clayton:

Stopped taking ALL medications

Eliminated all chronic symptoms

Started showing normal behavior

Wiped away irritability and anxiety

Became social for the first time

Listen as Clayton’s mother Audrey explains the dramatic changes they witnessed after putting Clayton on The UltraMind® Solution.

Clayton did not have a neurologic or psychiatric “disease.” He had a “broken brain” caused by nutritional imbalance; toxicity; and altered immune, neurotransmitter and digestive functions. Treating those root causes and correcting the imbalances led to the resolution of all his symptoms.

Clayton’s story is not unique. It’s repeated over and over in medical practices, based on the principles of Functional Medicine, the next generation of medicine, on which The UltraMind® Solution is based.

Just consider these inspiring stories of other patients who have fixed their broken brains by going on The UltraMind® Solution program…

A 53-year-old man with lifelong bipolar disease and crippling depression on a multi-drug cocktail, who had relief from depression for the first time in 30 years after tuning up his brain function with folate, B12 and B6

A 3-year-old boy with violent behavior, who calmed down after balancing his blood sugar and clearing out toxic bacteria from his intestinal tract

A 23-year-old woman with lifelong anxiety and depression that lifted after she quit eating foods that she was allergic to

A 70-year-old man who was losing his grip on his memory and had been diagnosed with early dementia, who after getting all the mercury out of his body came back to life, could work and function, and now remembers the songs he used to sing in the shower and reads BusinessWeek again

Or the little boy with autism, who began to talk and connect socially after getting rid of gluten and casein (wheat and dairy) from his diet and treating the yeast overgrowth in his gut – for the first time, he could tell jokes and had a sense of humor

Or the woman who traveled 5,000 miles to see me after seeing a dozen doctors, who was fatigued, depressed, overweight, mentally slipping, sluggish and struggling with brain fog every day, who got rid of all her symptoms in 6 weeks after getting off gluten, boosting her vitamin D level and fixing her low thyroid function. Her family said they had their mother and wife back.

A New Road Map Is Needed forTreating Mental Illness

Right now 20 million people are suffering from bouts of depression, leaving them feeling empty and meaningless. Are you one of them?

Maybe you are one of the 40 million tormented by irrational fears, anxiety or unceasing stress that won’t go away.

We lose our grip on reality. We can’t focus at work. Our children can’t sit still or remember what they are taught in school, and eventually we become strangers to our aging parents.

What’s wrong? Are we somehow defectively designed?

The medical community’s solution of drugs and psychotherapy isn’t working either. Even with all the drugs on the market, 80 percent of people on medication don’t get better.

Now 1 out of 166 children is diagnosed. And that’s not counting the millions of children who suffer from ADHD, dyslexia, learning disabilities or milder forms of autism like Asperger’s.

Consider the devastating effects of Alzheimer’s disease…

Conservative reports project that 30 percent (and some experts say 50 percent) of people over 85 years old (the fastest growing segment of the population) will have Alzheimer’s by 2050.

That’s 1 Out of 2Suffering with Alzheimer’s

What about adults and teenagers? One out of every 10 Americans is on antidepressants, with more than 40 million haunted by anxiety and 20 million paralyzed by depression. If that’s not enough, 26 percent, or 1 out of 4 Americans, will have some kind of psychiatric disorder in their lifetimes, such as:

Anxiety

Depression

Bipolar disease

Personality disorders

Eating disorders

Addictions

Obsessive-compulsive disorder

Attention deficit disorder

Autism

Asperger’s

Learning difficulties

Dyslexia

This broken brain epidemic takes many shapes, including psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia and mania as well as ALL neurodegenerative diseases of aging, especially Alzheimer’s, dementia and Parkinson’s disease.

You may not find yourself in one of those extreme categories, but you probably fall on the milder side of the broken brain continuum. While many psychiatrists and neurologists wouldn’t qualify these problems as treatable diseases, they still cause unnecessary suffering for many people.

Are Depression, Anxiety, Autism and Alzheimer’sNormal Parts of the Human Condition?

No. They aren’t.

The problem is that we’ve been looking for answers to these problems in the wrong places – in the corners of our past, in the chemical “imbalances” in our brains and in the latest drug or therapeutic approach.

The epidemic of broken brains is a silent one, and few doctors are talking about the problems and looking for ways to heal them. When they do, they focus on solutions within the brain itself, but what I have uncovered is that the root cause of mental illness or neurological disorders of any kind aren’t normally found in the brain…they’re in the body.

Heal the Body First,Then You Heal the Brain

The body is all connected and intertwined, NOT separate pieces.

But conventional medicine treats each part of the body as a disconnected piece and ultimately treats each person the same. Instead, we need to understand how the whole body operates as a system, not just how different pieces of the body operate independently from one another.

We need a plan for uniquely treating people, not body parts (a plan designed to put out the fire, not just bat at the flames).

You see, doctors and patients alike have been stuck on an outdated idea of disease.

Let me explain what I mean… In our current mind-set, if you know the name of your disease, you know what’s wrong with you and you can prescribe a drug to match.

For example…

You have depression? Then you NEED an antidepressant. You’re anxious? Then you NEED an anti-anxiety medication. You have bipolar disease or mood swings? Then you NEED a mood stabilizer.

But there’s one problem with that…

Depression Is Not a Prozac Deficiency

The Truth About Antidepressants…

Attention deficit disorder is not a stimulant deficiency, and dementia is NOT a memory-boosting medicine deficiency.

Saying you’re depressed or bipolar or have ADD tells you NOTHING about the reasons for your symptoms.

It’s like saying the reason your head hurts is because you have a headache. But your head could hurt because you ate something you’re allergic to, or you have too much estrogen and not enough progesterone floating around in your blood, or because you have a sinus infection, the flu, a magnesium deficiency, or…

Someone Hit You on theHead with a Baseball Bat

Commonly OverlookedCauses of Depression

Folate, B6 or B12 deficiency

Low thyroid function

Brain allergies to food

Autoimmune response to gluten

Mercury poisoning

Abnormal proteins from maldigested food

Brain inflammation from a hidden infection

Blood sugar imbalance

Low testosterone or other sex hormones

Omega-3 fat deficiency

Adrenal gland dysfunction from excessive stress

Any of these can cause a headache. So you see, having a name for a disease tells you NOTHING about the cause and unless you know the cause you cannot fix the problem. It is the SAME thing with our broken brains.

You could be in a room with 50 people who all meet the criteria for depression in the DSM-IV (the American Psychiatric Association’s diagnosis manual) and have all been prescribed antidepressants such as Prozac, but each person could have depression for a different reason.

The answer isn’t more or better medications.

Even Psychotherapy Shouldn’tBe the First Response

Counseling, therapy, coaching and even psychoanalysis can be helpful components of an overall plan for mental health.

But if you are poisoned by mercury, deficient in folic acid, have a low-functioning thyroid, drink 12 cups of coffee a day, eat half a pound of sugar a day (the amount consumed by the average American) or have an inflamed brain from eating gluten, it is very difficult to talk or meditate your way out of your suffering!

You must FIRST address the biological causes of the problems before psychotherapy can be effective.

There is a solution, but it’s not in the latest drug or therapeutic approach big pharmaceutical companies make billions from. The solution is somewhere you may not have heard about.

What you’re going to uncover inside The UltraMind® Solution is going to radically transform the way you think about your mind and body.

“The UltraMind® Solution is an amazing book that will help you today. It is packed with practical information to help you heal your body and enhance your brain. The book is both wise and practical.” – Daniel G. Amen, M.D., author ofChange Your Brain, Change Your Life and Magnificent Mind At Any Age

Whether you suffer from depression, anxiety or panic attacks; have Alzheimer’s, dementia or Parkinson’s disease; are under chronic stress; or even just have a little brain fog, trouble remembering things or ADD, leaving you feeling distracted and dull, you can heal.

You can not only overcome many chronic illnesses, but you can also heal from mental illness, neurological disorders and other types of brain disease. In just 6 short weeks, with The UltraMind® Solution, you can begin to:

Feel more alert and focused. (You’ll not only feel more alert, you’ll feel more alive.)

Experience a more stable mood. (Your moods will become more stable so that every day isn’t an emotional roller coaster.)

Create optimal brain function. (No more brain fog. Your mind will be clear and your thinking will be sharp.)

The New Road Map for Treating Disease:The 7 Keys to an UltraMind®

Like the path Kaki found, a new road map has emerged for how the human body works and how to treat illness – whether it is mental or physical. This road map is not based on the traditional ways of naming and diagnosing disease, but on treating the underlying, interlocking, core physiological systems that, in fact, underlie all disease.

The road map I was given in medical school to navigate through the territory of illness was the wrong map. It taught us to diagnose disease and then assign standardized treatments no matter who was suffering.

This is the WRONG approach – it’s a map that sends us in the wrong direction.

Not only are your joint pains, skin rashes, irritable bowel and depression all connected, but the only way to find your way out of this mess of chronic disease (affecting 162 million people) is by using a new map – one that allows you to see how everything is connected.

This is what the rich new method of functional medicine offers.

Functional medicine applies the science of systems biology in a practical setting.

“For the past 30 years, I’ve studied how comprehensive lifestyle change can prevent and reverse many chronic illnesses. Now, Dr. Hyman shows how to prevent and often reverse mood and brain disorders by addressing their underlying causes. Highly recommended.” – Dean Ornish, M.D., Clinical Professor of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco, and author of Dr. Dean Ornish’s Program for Reversing Heart Disease and The Spectrum

Unlike conventional medicine, functional medicine personalizes treatment based on a person’s unique needs. We are all different. We have different genetic make-ups. As a result, our bodies react to the environment in different ways.

Understanding this allows us to develop unique methods to treat people, not diseases.

At the heart of this paradigm shift are the 7 keys of UltraWellness®, the same keys that make up The UltraMind® Solution.

Inside The UltraMind® Solution, I explore and explain how each of these keys affects your mood, behavior, attention, memory and overall brain function, and give you special proprietary quizzes that will help you identify which of these keys is out of balance for you, along with practical steps for fixing them.

Overview of the 7 Keys to an UltraMind®

Let me begin by explaining how the 7 keys work and how they can optimize your brain and health:

Key #1: Optimize Nutrition

Are You Deficient in the Essentials for Normal Brain Function?

Optimal nutrition is the most important factor in keeping your brain healthy.

Feeding our brains is not something most of us know how to do. What you put in your mouth provides all the raw materials to build the structure of your brain cells and keep all the communication systems running well so you can think, emote, learn and remember.

You have to start with the right food and enough of the right nutrients for the brain to function well.

The problem is that most of us (including doctors) know very little about nutrition and even less about how and why vitamins and minerals are so essential for brain function and health. To restore optimal brain function and health, you need to know WHY you are doing WHAT you are doing.

Among other things in The UltraMind® Solution, you’ll learn about Key #1, Optimize Nutrition, and:

Four key nutritional strategies that represent 90 percent of everything you need to stay healthy and heal your broken brain. (These are the basic underpinnings that form the foundational support you need for an optimal brain.)

The 2 biggest offending foods that cause bad brain reactions. (One out of 133 people has a significant intolerance to one of these foods, but only 3 percent are diagnosed.)

How to reduce inflammation, balance blood sugar and stimulate new brain cell growth. (This special type of nutrient, common in any health food store, acts like Miracle-Gro for the brain.)

How using this specific type of supplement has proven effective in improving memory and cognitive functions, boosting mood and reducing stress, improving attention, and reducing aggression in children with ADHD (all with no side effects).

What you’d otherwise miss BUT need in a basic multivitamin. (Because 92 percent of Americans are deficient in one or more essential vitamins and minerals, everyone should take a basic multivitamin.)

How to avoid feeling sluggish, foggy, anxious, unfocused and tired. (Simply add this one simple food to every meal and accelerate your neurotransmitter functions.)

7 tips for naturally increasing the “happy-feeling” molecule, serotonin. (Discover how getting enough of this special form of vitamin B will help your body transform tryptophan into serotonin, without using antidepressants.)

How to protect your body against premature aging and morbid obesity simply by eating these special carbohydrates. (The right kind of carbohydrates contain all the vitamins (except B12) and minerals our bodies need to operate optimally and normally.)

How to reduce stress and enjoy a better night’s sleep. (Simply take 600-800 milligrams of this over-the-counter vitamin.)

How to intensify your mental sharpness, memory and energy level by taking the RIGHT combination of vitamins and minerals. (NOT having enough nutrients to optimize cellular function will lead to deficiencies can manifest as heart disease, cancer, depression, schizophrenia, ADD or Alzheimer’s disease.)

Key #2: Balance Your Hormones

As We Age, Our Hormones Get Out of Balance

Your hormones serve as major switches and can influence mood and behavior disturbances such as depression, panic attacks, anxiety, insomnia, ADHD, pre-dementia, Alzheimer’s and even weight gain.

Many of us are living out of balance and don’t recognize it. Does your mood or energy swing up and down? Do you crave sugar or salt? Are you uninterested in sex? Do you have thinning hair, or are you putting on more belly fat?

If so, you are not alone. Small molecules in our bodies that we depend on to keep us in balance are going haywire, and these molecules are involved in one way or another in almost every function of the body.

Learn whether your hormones are out of balance and what you need to do to fix them.

Learn about new studies in The Journal of the American Medical Association that found that people with metabolic syndrome (insulin resistance) and inflammation had dramatic declines in cognitive function. (This is more serious than just forgetting your keys. It is called mild cognitive impairment, which is a prelude to dementia. Now learn the steps for reversing it.)

Learn how to eliminate food cravings by getting your hormones in balance. (Follow these simple dietary changes to completely correct and reverse insulin resistance and the catastrophic effects it has on the brain.)

Discover the link between thyroid disease and depression and why this special plan can heal your broken thyroid. (Over 20 percent of women and 10 percent of men have a low-functioning thyroid and only half of those are diagnosed.)

Learn how to eliminate the symptoms of PMS (and why your fork may be enhancing your symptoms by pushing your hormones out of balance).

Learn about 4 reversible reasons why you’re losing testosterone and what you can do about it. (And why men don’t have to take “the little blue pill” to be men again.)

Key #3: Cool Off Inflammation

Inflammation and the Effects of Autism and Alzheimer’s

If you have a sore throat, a swollen joint or a rash, you know you are inflamed. But if your brain is inflamed, you feel nothing. Nothing, that is, except depressed, unfocused or, worse, autistic or demented.

New evidence links hidden brain inflammation to almost every known “brain disease,” from depression to dementia, from autism to anxiety, from schizophrenia to sociopathic behavior.

The brain is on fire in the 21st century. If 1 in 3 Americans suffers from a mental illness, and 14 million Americans will soon have Alzheimer’s, and nearly all mood disorders and age-related brain diseases are symptoms of an inflamed or “sore” brain, then this problem touches everyone.

You might say we are all on fire.

Discover the secrets to cooling off inflammation for a healthy, happy brain:

The surprising link between inflammation and autism. (The amazing discovery by a cutting-edge Harvard doctor, who studied autistic children’s brains on MRI scans.)

Why exercise and fish oil can often be a more effective treatment for depression than antidepressants. (Six remarkable pieces of evidence proving that depression may be systemic inflammatory disease…and what you can do about it.)

How to slow down if not reverse dementia and Alzheimer’s. (Attack the underlying source of the inflammation by addressing the 9 causes of inflammation.)

Which foods you are eating that may be injuring your brain. (Certain foods you may eat daily can act to disturb normal neurotransmitter function, causing a chain reaction that overexcites, injures, inflames and ultimately kills brain cells.)

Key #4: Fix Your Digestion

A 6-Year Tantrum’s Caused by Food Allergies

Did you know that your gut has more neurotransmitters and serotonin (happy-mood chemicals) than your brain does?

New science shows the obvious connection between the gut and the brain. What happens in the gut affects the health of your brain.

Your gut is responsible for breaking down food, letting in the good stuff (such as vitamins and minerals), blocking out the bad stuff (such as toxins and bad bugs), and making good bacteria to protect you.

If your gut breaks down because of stress and poor diet, your brain won’t be happy. Breakdown anywhere in this process creates illness. Learn:

Why your gut has more to do with your happy mood than your brain. (95 percent of your body’s serotonin, or happy-mood chemical, is produced in the gut nerve cells.)

Why new studies show that it’s your stomach that makes you anxious and irritable. (It’s your irritable bowel that may be affecting your brain…here’s how.)

Why bad bugs in your gut may be leading to your obsessive-compulsive disorder. (Bad bugs in the gut produce ammonia, a brain toxin that excites and damages brain cells and the mitochondria.)

Why a little heartburn can lead to brain problems if you fall into the trap of treating it the way that 25 percent of Americans do. (Studies show that people who take long-term acid-blocking medications can become vitamin B12 deficient, which can lead to depression, anemia, fatigue, nerve damage and even dementia, especially in the elderly.)

Key #5: Enhance Detoxification

How George Reversed Dementia Because of Detoxification

Our bodies must eliminate all our metabolic wastes and all the toxins we take in from the environment and through our food, air, water and medications.

The toxic burden in the 21st century is overwhelming, and often our bodies can’t keep up. This leads to illness.

Toxic overload shuts down every biochemical process in your body and can lead to dementia, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, to name a few.

Learn the keys to eliminating harmful toxins from your system and maintaining a sharp, focused and alert brain:

Seven enemies that impair your body’s natural ability to detoxify. (A recent study in The Lancet clearly showed how one food additive can make your children hyperactive.)

4 tips for reducing your exposure to mercury. (15 percent of women of childbearing age were found to have toxic levels of mercury in their blood. This simple plan can help you eliminate from your body the second most toxic metal known to man.)

Nine ways to help reduce dementia and brain aging. (New research clearly shows that exposures to toxins put you at risk of Parkinson’s .)

Five simple foods that can naturally replenish glutathione, the body’s master detoxifier. (In addition, 2 vitamins that help boost the production of glutathione in your body.)

Key #6: Boost Energy Metabolism

The Secret to Living to 120

Life is energy. Once no more energy is produced in your cells, you die. The process of extracting energy from the food you eat and the oxygen you breathe is the most essential procedure of life.

Keeping that metabolic engine running smoothly and protecting it from harm are essential for health.

5 specific supplements you can take today to boost energy and reduce oxidative stress. (Loss of function and death of mitochondria account for much of what we see in most diseases, including problems with mood, behavior, attention and memory.)

One specific lifestyle change you can make to increase energy and reduce fatigue. (Lack of energy means slowed mental function, autism, mood disorders such as depression, and ultimately Parkinson’s and dementia.)

Whether your mitochondria are damaged and you are losing energy, by taking a quiz. (With 3 specific action plans you can use.)

Key #7: Calm Your Mind

How Stress Makes Your Brain Hard

The overwhelming stresses of the 21st century, including social isolation, overwork and disempowerment, create enormous stresses on our nervous systems, leading to burnout and breakdown.

A stiff, rigid, “hard” personality is reflected in stiff cells, rigid plaques in the brain and a general loss of resilience. We lose the ability to renew, remember and repair.

This is not just a metaphor for what happens. Your brain literally stiffens, slows and loses function in direct relationship to the thoughts, beliefs and attitudes you have about yourself and your place in the world. How each of us responds to our life – to our perceptions – has enormous implications on how we feel, how we age and the health of our brain.

Uncover the tips for relaxing and making your brain happy and healthy:

3 easy-to-implement tools for reducing stress. (High levels of cortisol over the long term injure the hippocampus, leading to impaired memory, dementia and depression.)

How this simple breathing exercise will help stimulate your vagus nerve, to lower inflammation and reduce depression. (This simple exercise releases acetylcholine, which reduces the production of inflammatory cytokines.)

The UltraMind® Solution is a 6-week, step-by-step program designed to help you fix imbalances in your body’s core underlying biology, which will then trigger your body’s own natural intelligence to heal and automatically fix your brain.

Part I: The UltraMind® Solution: Epidemic of Broken Brains

In Part I, you will learn about our epidemic of “broken brains,” both the scope and the cause of the problem facing us in the 21st century. And you will learn why the solutions to this problem available today are nearly ignored.

Inside these first 4 chapters you will discover why fixing your body is the BEST way to fix your broken brain and why the foundations of modern psychiatry and neurology are based on myths.

Then you will learn why you are suffering from brain damage – all the myriad causes of injury to the soft, custard-like, three-pound wonder that is your brain.

Part II: The 7 Keys to an UltraMind®

In Part II, you will learn how imbalances in the 7 core systems of the body – nutrition, hormones, immune function, digestion, detoxification, energy metabolism and mind-body – explain all the symptoms and diseases we think are “brain” problems.

You will also work through a proprietary set of quizzes to help you identify which of the 7 keys are out of balance. Once you are done with each quiz, you will receive a score that puts you in one of the 3 UltraMind® Solution care groups.

Each score has a specific set of recommendations for improving the key and optimizing your brain.

Part III: Take the 6-Week Plan: Develop an UltraMind®

Part III is a practical, how-to, step-by-step program to fix your broken brain using The UltraMind® Solution. The heart of the plan is a comprehensive diet and lifestyle change that consists of 4 basic components that last for 6 weeks.

A healthy eating plan designed to help you heal and optimize your brain

Basic supplements you need to take to balance and enhance your brain chemistry

A clean and green lifestyle in order to reduce your exposure to environmental toxins and support a sustainable future for us all

It’s at this time when everything you learned will be put into action. Most people who follow this approach will see significant changes with the first 2 weeks.

Part IV: Personalize the 7 Keys Based on Your Quiz Scores

In Part IV, you will learn how to customize The UltraMind® Solution to help correct the unique imbalances you discovered by taking the quizzes in Part III.

Each of us is unique – genetically, developmentally and psychologically. Each of us has areas of weakness and strength. Finding those and adapting your health practices and treatment to that uniqueness based on the 7 keys is essential if you want to regain full health and vitality.

Inside The UltraMind® Solution you’ll find specific instructions on how to integrate each of these changes into your life so you can optimize the 7 keys to UltraWellness® and achieve an UltraMind® .

“Restore Your Energy Naturally”

I have been suffering from intense fatigue and trouble concentrating for the last 2 years, and my physicians have been unable to find a medical diagnosis for my symptoms.

Being a 46-year-old graduate student, wife, mother and employee, I have to be able to concentrate for long periods of time, especially in the evenings after work. Before The UltraMind® Solution, I could not concentrate or stay focused past the early morning.

Without knowing exactly when it occurred, I now find that my energy has been restored enough so that I can work 12-hour shifts at the hospital without fatigue and still go home and study, and retain what I read.

As a side effect, I have lost close to 10 pounds without ever going hungry. I am definitely going to make The UltraMind® Solution a way of life from now on. Dr. Hyman’s principles are simple yet effective.

The Future of Medicine StartsHere…It Starts with You

Like almost every other doctor in the country, I was trained to be a clinical pharmacologist, not a clinical physiologist, biochemist, geneticist or practitioner of functional medicine.

I was trained to dispense medication. I was not trained to process or understand biological information systems, or to make sense of patterns and relationships and connections in biological systems. I was not trained to see how everything communicates with everything else.

However, by treating thousands of patients like Clayton (who eliminated ADHD), George (who reversed dementia) and Emma (the 6-year old girl who calmed down and became peaceful) and many others over more than 20 years, and by studying the rich medical literature that explains, in detail, the way the underlying systems in our body create health or illness, I have been able to develop a whole new way of understanding medicine, one that is radically different from the method of diagnosis and treatment I was trained in.

We are in the middle of an information revolution – not just in technology but also in biology. What I have studied and learned about for more than a decade now is the future of medicine. Functional medicine and systems biology are the wave of the future, and this is what you will learn once you read The UltraMind® Solution.

And once you have the power of this fundamental rethinking of medicine in your hands, you’ll be able to fix your broken brain and achieve an UltraMind® – one that’s highly focused, able to pay attention at will, has a strong memory and helps you feel calm, confident, in control and in good spirits.

My wish for all of you is to live a life that is vibrant, awake, engage, focused, strong and refreshed.

Fix your body and you WILL fix your brain. And when this happens, you’ll say, “Wow, I had no idea having an UltraMind® could feel this good.”

P.S. We all thought that once we lost brain cells they were gone forever. However, exciting new research in the last decade on the brain has clearly shown that the brain can heal, renew, repair and regenerate itself. Discover on page 53 of The UltraMind® Solution how you can wake up and activate damaged brain cells, a process called neuroplasticity, which leads to improved cognitive function and remarkable recoveries.)
